Piet, the Bostonian in my office, was happy seeing this, considering I recently rooted for the Red Sox throughout the Yankees and Cardinals games.

Yoo Hoo!
Neighbornode.net is exactly what i’ve been waiting/thinking of for the last few months. I’ve noticed, I know, but don’t really know the people who live on the other floors of my apartment building.
This software allows you to have a wi-fi hotspot and bulletin board/wiki setup all-in-one.
And you get to keep your own firewall, independent […]

Finally!
A detailed, zoom-friendly mapping service for India!
It doesn’t do driving directions (yet!).
However, even the idea that such a service is available online and for free is definitely a good thing.
A warning though, this service isn’t the best in terms of getting addresses right.
(It searches for Lavelle road correctly, but not for Vittal Mallya road).

Great flash design.
Recently (ok, today) I came across the website of Y&R.
Their flash design is definitely commendable.
The complex use of flash to provide simplistic functionality is another thread in my thoughts of - the more technology you put into it, the simpler it should become.
(The it above is still undefined)
